I am on another cold but fine day be it a bit on the windy side, and
you know what I have done today.............a load of washing that's
what and no I didn't use the clothes dryer I pegged it out on the
line and got frozen while doing it..............lol
Tonight
we have Leo here while Jessica goes out to poker at the club and
because well we have in one night a week as everyone knows. This is
the second week of the school holidays and have to say it will be
over before we know it and school will be back and I will be having
to drive Leo to and from school again good thing I don't mind doing
it............
Anyway
enough about nothing I have a question for all my blog friends out
there in blogland.
In
September Tim and I are going to Hawaii for a holiday only going to
be gone a week can't afford any longer but I was wondering what type
of power cord I will need for my computer will the one I use here
work in Hawaii or do I need some kind of adapter, if any of my Aussie
pals have been to the states and knows the answer could you please
tell me. I looked it up on line but got confused, I did find info
about tipping and printed it up and showed Tim and he was shocked he
didn't realise that tipping is done for everything, since we don't
tip here in Australia. I also told him that in the states the price
of goods is usually without tax so that has to be taken into account
when buying stuff but I am not sure how much tax is, is there a flat
rate or a different rate for different things, here in we the price
on the shelve is the price you pay as the GST is already added.
Can't help you with your questions, sorry. I don't leave the states. :(
ReplyDeleteOh well such is life until the last few years I never left Australia
DeleteI've never been to Hawaii so I can't answer about the power cord. Favorite Young Man visited friends there. I'm sorry to tell you that he said everything is incredibly expensive. Yes, Americans tip for everything, or at least we're supposed to if we want decent service.

I will tell Tim that is expensive there so he will be prepared
DeleteI can't help you because I never go anywhere--LOL! But I do know they tip and Hawaii is very expensive--but it is supposed to be worth all the cost because it's so gorgeous there. :)
ReplyDeleteOh well can't back out now so will just have to put up with the cost I am looking forward to the trip though
DeleteI've never been to Hawaii but I've heard it is expensive there, partly due to being an island. But totally beautiful. Taxes are not calculated into the price of things and taxes vary by state. In my state they're around 7% - that's bad that I don't even know. I just pay it. Can't help you the power cord either. Oh well, I'm not much help. You'll find your answers. Have fun in Hawaii and I can't wait to hear about your trip.
ReplyDeleteSo I am getting that it is expensive there according to everyone I can't imagine not having the shelf price the total price and I will find out about the power cord from someone I am sure
DeleteMaybe this Trip Advisor article will help. http://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowTopic-g60763-i5-k4378764-Australian_appliances_and_american_voltage-New_York_City_New_York.html
